The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and even though it’s still dark tomorrow, there’s a silver moon hanging on it.
Lijiazhuang, in the yard of the eldest young master.
The yellow dog was still lying lazily, as if nothing had happened and he only cared about what to eat tomorrow. He raised his eyes and looked at the only moving house in the courtyard. I really don't know what worries humans. They are noisy and annoying every day.
There was a lot of noise outside, and the tables and chairs were being knocked and moved from time to time, as if they were talking about important national events. When I went in and took a look, I saw a few little kids sitting around the long table.
Look carefully, you can see that they are several children from Sanzhuang. The Li family is sitting on the left, Li Hui, Li Jing, and Li Sha, the Zhu family Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, and the Hu family Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang are sitting on the right. The first one is naturally Li Ying.
"If you ask me, let's just go over with weapons and surround the place, so we'll be obedient." The loudest one was General Li Fei, who I called myself. His teeth hadn't fallen out yet, and his words were a little rough.
"You can't even beat your father's bodyguard, Li Shuang, and yet you're still obedient, hahaha." Zhu Biao smiled unceremoniously.
"Hum, what do you think we should do?" Li Fei turned around and asked.
"Brother Ying, I think we can poison the water directly." Before he finished speaking, everyone stared at him as if they were a fool. They were all adults who poisoned the water because they were crazy. He quickly said, "I It means that if you give people powerless medicine, they will just obey."
It has to be you, Zhu Biao. Even if you stab someone in the back, you still want to poison. You have watched many dramas about bullying the people, and you still deceive women from good families.
"Come on, A Biao, let's not talk about whether you have this kind of medicine. Even if you do, do you dare to take it? Your father won't spread your ass, hahaha." Hu Cheng smiled, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu nodded, expressing Agree, his father really beat him like this.
"Then, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Biao was dissatisfied.
Hu Cheng raised his head and looked at Li Ying, "Brother Ying, let me tell you, we have to take a long-term approach and get all the guards of the three families into our hands first."
Li Ying shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, but there is not enough time. This plan must start from now." A few days ago, an edict was issued to reopen the Shipping Department. It said that it would only collect commercial taxes. When it comes to the people, it will definitely start again. It is a level of exploitation. Uprisings are about to begin in various places, and time waits for no one.
Although everyone didn't know why they didn't have enough time, they all had a tacit understanding that they didn't ask. Brother Ying always had his reasons.
Li Ying tapped the table with his fingers, gathered everyone's expressions, and said, "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. The Li family's guards basically obey me, but you two?"
"Basically, whoever is a banker in the family has money. I heard that there is nothing we can do, hey." Zhu Biao said, and the others nodded in agreement.
"In this case, we can only take advantage of Sanzhuang's annual meeting today to implement the plan." Everyone nodded.
"Today's meeting will be held at Zhujiazhuang. Zhu Long and you three brothers will go back first. Hu Cheng, Hu Sanniang, and we will go together later. Follow my orders. Success or failure depends on this one move. Who has any objections?"
"No" everyone said in unison.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
...
The moon and stars were sparse, it was already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and perhaps the clouds were heavier and stacked together, making the sky darker.
A few little guys took advantage of the moonlight and walked out of the back door in the dark. Lijiazhuang was in the east and Zhujiazhuang was in the middle, so they headed west.
At this time, in the Zhu family compound, there were a few men standing outside the only lighted room, and there were a few inside, but only three men were sitting around chatting, and the rest were standing and staring intently.
"Brother Li, you have given birth to a good son. He is both civilized and military. He makes me envious, hahaha." Zhu Chaofeng said.
"No, no, the third son of the Zhu family is also extraordinary." Li Fuquan replied, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"The boy from the Li family is indeed very powerful. He is not old and is not small in stature. Could it be that he is a reincarnation of a god? I wonder if Old Li has a marriage family?" Hu Rong said with a smile.
"Brother Hu, could it be that it's not possible to marry Sanniang to my Ying'er? It's not impossible. The dowry is indispensable." Li Fuquan teased.
"Ahem, let's get down to business." Seeing that something was not going right, Zhu Chaofeng quickly changed the subject. He originally planned to let his third son, Zhu Biao, marry Hu Sanniang in the future, but if he continued talking, he might be cut off.
"Isn't it you who mentioned my son? Why, you interrupted me when it came to Hu Sanniang. What do you have in mind?" They are both foxes with thousands of years of experience, and they are very clever.
"What do you think? Although it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, you still have to check the children's wishes. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to be together if you don't love me and I don't want to. Brother Hu, you think so." Zhu Zhu. Chao Feng looked at Hu Rong with a smile, but his eyes were wandering with the candlelight.
Although Zhujiazhuang is the most powerful, in terms of connections and business scale, the Hu family is bigger.
Because the Hu family is basically engaged in overseas business, and the court has nothing to do with it these days, who dares to make money from the customs that has been banned.
"Yes, it still depends on Sanniang's thoughts." After all, there is only one woman in the Hu family. She has been protecting her since she was a child, giving her whatever she wants.
Some time ago, they almost got into a fight with Li Fuquan due to the scandal, but it was better for Li Ying and Hu Sanniang to mediate, "Let's talk about today's matter. This matter is not urgent."
"That's right, Brother Li, let's talk about big things. Didn't you say there is something important that needs to be decided by Sanzhuang? We haven't gotten together for a while."
"Actually, it's a small matter. I've opened a new wine shop, isn't it? I'm going to..."
He was interrupted before he finished speaking, "We are going to unite the three villages to sell wine together." The voice came before the person arrived.
I saw a handsome young man with a smile on his face, a jade crown on his hair, sword-star eyebrows, and a tight-fitting black robe, slim and tight, and elegant. Everyone looked at the young man who came in and couldn't help but sigh.
"I have met my father, the head of the Zhu family, the head of the Hu family, and all my uncles." Li Ying bowed his hands in salute, and Zhu Chaofeng turned sideways and looked outside, but there was no reaction when he came in.
"Ying'er, you are here because of the winery. My father is preparing to talk to uncles and uncles." Li Fuquan said without the slightest anger.
"Father, please leave the rest to me." Li Ying said softly.
"Okay, it's up to you." Anyway, it's you who will make the decision in the future.
"Young man from the Li family, it's just a wine shop. What needs to be solved by the three of us together?" Hu Rong looked at the young man.
"That's right, boy from the Li family, I still don't believe that the fairy wine you sell can't be made, hahaha." Zhu Chaofeng said with a smile.
"Young man, I came here to hope that the three villages will sell this wine together. Although it is not a fairy wine, it is not bad at all. If you uncles don't believe it, you will have to taste it. Zhu Biao."
Zhu Biao came in with a jar of wine, and it didn't look like he was struggling. Zhu Chaofeng stared at him, why is this brat so obedient? He usually talks like a donkey.
"Okay. Then let's try what kind of wine this is?"
After saying that, everyone was not polite to fill up the wine for themselves. Li Fuquan knew how strong his wine was and took a sip. At this time, others did not hesitate to take a big sip. Immediately, with a spicy mouthful, Zhu Chaofeng shouted, "What a strong wine. People in the world love this kind of wine."
"Indeed, not to mention the political situation, the Northern Army will definitely be very popular." Hu Rong was not good at drinking and was already blushing.
"If this wine is sold at this time, it will definitely be popular. Who doesn't drink wine to warm up in winter?" Zhu Chaofeng couldn't help but turn his eyes, as if he thought of something, and said, "Boy from the Li family, how can you, the Li family, sell this wine alone?" If it’s not better, why share it with us?”
"That's true." Hu Rong nodded in agreement.
"It's better to be the only one selling it. However, when the manpower is already low, the winery will naturally become bigger and bigger in the future. One winery is too small. I thought, why don't three wineries pool their funds to open a winery, and the three wineries will join forces to form a four-three-three winery." how.
I have also thought of a name, and I will call it Dulonggang Winery. The wine will be sold at different prices according to the degree of alcohol. We can open some restaurants to sell this wine exclusively.
But this will eventually be remembered, and the reputation will not last forever. This can be solved by just grasping the wine-making recipe and supplying it to other wine dealers in large quantities at low prices. "
"That's very good. It covers everything. But, Mr. Li, you should be more than that. If it's just business, your father can tell you. What's the purpose of coming here in person?" Hu Rong seemed to see through it at a glance, and he was worthy of it. It's the old fox.
"Of course, the three villages are doing such a profitable business to prevent the wine recipe from being leaked, the boy suggested." Li Ying paused deliberately, everyone's expressions were different, "The three villages join forces to establish an alliance."
Zhu Chaofeng frowned. The three families have been here for so many years, and this idea is not new, but no one is convinced by who is the leader.
"You're such a yellow-tongued boy, you're talking lightly. Then the alliance must have a leader. Who should be the leader?" The speaker was Zhu Chaofeng's younger brother, Zhu Feihu, who I heard made a good spear.
If I talk about this, I can't finish talking about it for days and nights. Who doesn't want to be the leader and take the majority.
"Of course it's my Li family. My family produces wine recipes, so I should be the leader." Li Shuang, the banker behind Li Fuquan, said. He is also a good player in the bank. His father passed all the throwing knives to him.
"Why, this leader is not only responsible for handling the affairs of the winery, he has to be the strongest leader to convince the crowd." Zhu Feihu roared.
"That's right, you have to talk about strength, not just force, but also other things." The Hu family is not to be outdone. They are also a banker. They are called Hu Niu. They seem to be very powerful. As for the other things, of course, it's background, business, and power.
The quarrel started before there was much discussion. You pointed it out, I scolded it, no matter who was dissatisfied.
"Why don't you go out and practice?"
"Practice and practice, no one is afraid of whom."
"Why do you have to fight? What a gentleman if you fight if you can't argue."
"I'm not a gentleman to begin with, I don't have the guts to be a coward."
"Bullshit, I just don't want to beat you to tears later. I have no place to call you mother."
"Walk."
"Walk."
The owner of the village didn't stop him, he just watched the young man standing upright, enjoying himself if there was nothing else.
Li Ying stamped his feet and shouted, "That's enough."
The whole room trembled.
Several people stopped and said, "If you want to practice, I will practice with you." After saying that, they walked out and opened the door. Several little kids who were eavesdropping fell to the ground with a "wow".
"Ouch, it hurts me so much."
Li Ying walked to the yard. There were several people scattered around the yard, all of whom had been knocked unconscious before entering the house.
Gou Gou Shou said, "You guys, all come together. If you can beat me, pretend I didn't mention it. If you can't beat me, just give it to me." Turning to look at the ground, "Lie down."
"Ouch, young master, I can't beat you outside, but I can't beat you with a hairless nipple inside?" Zhu Feihu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to attack. There were several bankers behind him.
"Master Li, don't fall down." Hu Niu also showed a bad look on his face and led the people out.
Li Shuang knew what his young master was capable of, but he had given orders before, so he had no choice but to go ahead.
Zhu Feihu made a big leap in front of him, and punched hard to the face. Li Ying was not prepared to dodge, and broke through all the methods with one force. The punching style was not very good.
Li Ying raised his palm and grabbed his fist directly. Zhu Feihu was horrified. He tried to pull it back but couldn't move. Li Ying chuckled, "The accuracy is OK, but the strength is not enough." He raised his foot and kicked Zhu Feihu horizontally for several meters until he hit the wall. before stopping.
"Ahem, that's a lot of strength." He was no longer able to fight anymore.
The rest of the people who had just rushed in front of him had no idea that they would be defeated so quickly. Before they could react quickly, Li Ying punched the abdomen with his left fist and kicked the other person with his right leg. After three or five blows, they all fell to the ground, wailing. more than.
Just now, I hit the first one with more force, so I held back later, but I didn’t want to end up with a few hits to death.
Look at the ox behind him holding a stick.
"Li Hui." Li Hui and Hei Wazi couldn't lift the 120-pound Fang Tianhua halberd at all. They were dragging "Hey, hey, hey" there. Li Shuang couldn't stand it and couldn't fight. Young Master Duan pretended to be × and quickly picked it up and handed it over.
Li Ying danced his halberd. The weight was acceptable, but it was definitely not enough for the back. His current strength was already 7,000 kilograms.
"bring it on."
"The sword has no eyes, Mr. Li, be careful." Li Shuang, the bully, and several other men rushed towards him with weapons.
Li Ying stared at it. Although there were some lights, it was still a little unclear at night. He still had to deal with it carefully. He would be very happy if the car overturned.
With a sweeping sweep of the halberd, several sticks and spears that had just approached were swept away. They danced back and smashed forward. The oxen's horizontal stick blocked them. As soon as they made contact, they knelt down half-kneeling on the ground, and the slabs exploded.
Li Ying came close and kicked him, and he was kicked far away with his stick.
The remaining miscellaneous fish were all staggering around with a single blow from the halberd. Li Shuang thought about it and surrendered. He was beaten for several days last time and could not recover. He quickly threw away his weapon and raised his hands together with the Li family banker. Li Ying had told them to raise his hands to express surrender.
He has strength, speed, and reflexes. Sometimes he doesn't need any moves or martial arts. He can just fight with reckless abandon. It's simple, rough, fast, and very satisfying.
"Boy from the Li family, be careful, watch the knife." Suddenly Zhu Chaofeng rushed out and struck him head-on. Although he said he was being careful, the knife followed the sound.
Li Ying didn't have time to dodge, but just blocked the halberd. Zhu Chaofeng's sliding knife was split horizontally, and he was about to attack his empty position. How could Li Ying let him succeed? With his specially trained eyes, he could see the shining white blade clearly even in the dark night. Make a punch and swing away directly.
Before Zhu Chaofeng finished his move, he kicked him again. Li Ying snorted coldly, daring to confront someone head-on. With one kick, Zhu Chaofeng's foot was directly twisted with great force, and his body instantly lost balance. Fortunately, his body followed the direction of the twist, otherwise Designated to be seriously injured, he quickly pulled away.
"My good nephew is good at martial arts. I really admire him." This old guy has made his way through the world on his own and has been showing off. He is indeed the strongest one in Sanzhuang and the most sinister. No wonder Zhu Biao is like this. He must be like his father. His son.
"Uncle Zhu, do you dare to take a blow from me?"
"Don't dare, hahaha." Then he turned around and left with a big laugh.
There was silence for a while, I didn't dare to ask you to come.
Seeing that no one was coming forward, Li Ying threw his halberd heavily to the ground. The stone slab cracked and was buried in the ground. He looked at him coldly with raised eyebrows. No one dared to look at him, except for a few little boys who admired him.
"Who else?" He yelled loudly and forcefully, just like a general inviting a battle, and everyone avoided his sharp edge.
"Papa" Hu Rong clapped his hands and walked out, "Okay, okay, you are indeed a hero from a young age. If I had this ability back then, I would have been invincible on the battlefield." In ancient times, those in their thirties could indeed be called an old man.
"Uncle Hu, I'm grateful. I wonder what you guys think about it."
"I'm afraid you must be at the level of a first-class master. Why are you so strong?" Zhu Chaofeng changed the subject.
"Lao Zhu, don't worry about your strength. Just consider what you said before." Several people looked at Li Fuquan, "Don't look at me. My son's thoughts are my thoughts."
Zhu Chaofeng was too lazy to pay attention to this son slave, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."
"Dad, uncles, why don't we go inside and continue talking in detail?"
"Okay, come in and talk, come in and talk, you guys, those who are recovering from their injuries, those who are going home, those who are going home, if you are hungry, ask the kitchen to bring some side dishes." Zhu Chaofeng ordered.
"Yeah, I've been hungry for a long time." Among the children, Li Sha agreed.
Li Ying was about to go in when Li Jing came over and whispered, "Brother, we don't have enough chips, you can use them." As he said that, he looked at the children who were about to eat.
Li Yingzi understood. He patted him on the back and gave him a reassuring look. After all, the future belonged to these children.
